I Am A Conservative Republican

[H/T: AlphonZo Rachel and his YouTube video. It prompted me to write this.]

I believe that life begins at conception and the taking of an innocent life is not a religious issue, it is a moral issue.

I believe in the separation of Church and State, but not the absence of God from the public place.

I believe that America is the land of equal opportunity, but not the land of equal results.

I believe that what is mine is mine, not something to be confiscated and spread around for all to share.

I believe that it is the job of the judicial branch to enforce the constitution, not to legislate a new one.

I believe that we have the capability to provide our own energy quickly, safely and cost effectively. Oversight yes; Industry killing regulation no.

I reject the mentality that the right to bear arms only applies to state militia. It is the people’s path to protecting themselves from a tyrannical government.

I reject that America is a collection of individual cultures. I embrace that America is its OWN culture that should be promoted, vaunted and celebrated.

I reject the notion that government is the end-all means to prosperity. I embrace the idea that free markets work best in driving the economy.

I believe that it is the government’s job to serve and protect the people; to enact policies that enable me to succeed and then get out of my way.

The revolution is at hand. Will you be a leader or a follower?

    Hear, hear. The whole concept of a melting pot of cultures is that they come together to make something NEW, not float around in the pot as their own entity.

    Also, thank you for the welcome to the blogosphere! It's good to be in such good company!
